Dallas Blues

This was a letter I received recently.

I was wondering if you would consider adding something to your blog on an issue we are dealing with here in Dallas right now. The City is really starting to clamp down on the homeless as of late (even more so than before) and this Church was one of the only places that people banned from other shelters or people with no other option due to shortage of shelter beds can go. It is a classic example of harassment by the City. I had lunch with her yesterday and Karen Dudley is a women who is refusing to give up. Her Church is located in a very blighted area of Dallas with very little business and residential housing in the area. There is not the typical NIMBY situation involved but we cannot figure out who is complaining or why the City is doing this. Anyway, she is trying to take legal action and I am trying to help her get the word out in any form of media I can find.
